Thank you for confirming things, Dr. Unlikely. NXT 1 gave us one of the all-time greatest beatdowns, NEXT 2 gives us the worse. And yeah, it looked like Lucky almost broke Kaval's leg with his move.
Originally posted by JimBob SkeeterI especially noticed this after Riley shoved Kava-Li off the top ropes and LayCool went over to check on him. Michelle was bouncing around on the floor on her knees, overactingly bouncing like she was prancing. Anyone also notice that after Kaval won, neither of layCool gave a shit that they were touching an icky sweaty man, when earlier in the night, they gave him a hug and then acted all repulsed? Continuity, ladies!!!!! ;-)
Maybe they didn't care about a sweaty man that time cause their boy won? That would make sense.
You know, someone mentioned it earlier, but if this was a shoot then McGillicutty's promo makes sense in the fact he could have been pissed that he didn't win.
EDIT: Which pros came out of this looking better? Cody Rhodes and LayCool for sure.

And also Husky squashed the hell out of him with that Senton. Looked like he landed dead center of his gut instead of his ass being off of him.

Yeah, I mentioned that before. The crazy thing is, if all of this was a worked shoot (or plain old shoot)....wouldn't you be stiff/sloppy if you were pissed and might be out the door?
Either way, I do believe that this beatdown qualifies as So Bad It's Good (Click Here (tvtropes.org)).

Oh yes. Oh. Yes. Unfortunately, the dog bark only reinforced the lack of returns for Make It A Win and mustache.
I hope they have a Genesis of McGillicuddy team meeting where those idiots try to come up with the cool name for their group and Eli suggests Mustache. Then they go surround the WWE Legends and pick them off one by one but accidentally beat up each other. And Titus O'Neill says "RICHARD STEAMBOAT, YOU EXPECT PEOPLE TO CARE ABOUT YOUR DVD WHEN OTHER PEOPLE ARE DYING OF CANCER OR OF IRAQ?" [forgets to sell armdrag]
-Mark Henry never actually makes it to the ring, and is caught with the rest of the faces just watching the beatdown on Kaval at the end.
I can only guess that he had too much affection after all this time for plucky Lucky. "Aw, look at that. You get yours, Lucky Cannon."
Yeah, you really need to hear him do this. He just kept coming back to variations of "moment", "on" and "now" until he remembered to say his name, which - as Kofi reminded us at the top - he is the master of. I kind of feel bad for the guy, but man, that was awful, as was the "breastfeed you!" line
And momentousness notwithstanding, the first promo was actually WORSE. "This ring isn't a pool, Kaval, no matter how much you want it to be." Which is ... a lot? Not sure how you make any of this a win.
They really missed an opportunity there to have her pro be Khali, who could have given her the perfectly valid excuse of "If you do kill someone during training, just don't do it again."
Words to live by right here. Or die by.

Aksana was sneakily unattractive. You can't fool me, makeup!

Them plus Ryder, who only got to do things for the first three weeks but what great things they were.
There's just something unsettling about EVIL~! Percy Watson.
I really wanted to think some of these guys would have been greatly served by helping reload the Nexus ranks, but last night made it pretty obvious that that's a terrible idea. Could they work better than Otunga? Well, a table lamp could work a match better than Otunga, but at least Otunga has an ounce of charisma and knows better than to beat his own guys up. Keep these guys far away from Nexus. If the E absolutely HAS to find something for them to do, I'm sure they could dust off the old Spirit Squad uniforms.

NEXUS 2 ENTRANCE THEME same music, new lyrics by Michael McGillicutty
VERSE 1 From this moment on This moment starting now Is the genesis of McGillicutty I am the young Wrestler's son But they changed my name to one a bit silly
We're not that bad This dude says "oh yeah" Lucky Cannon knows a crossbody In mustache glee Eli fucked a tree Named Aloisia
CHORUS We are two, we are two, we are two We will stand together? Number two, number two Unimposing ones
We are two, we are two We will fight each other We aren't one But we won't tie-hung
VERSE 2 The plans we made We stole from Wade We live to win another Keg Carry Michael Cole, Internet troll, Will tell the story to our enemy:
Kaval's a tool And so's LayCool And so was Triple X in TNA Hear dog bark din And then a win Is what we'll make it
CHORUS We are two, we are two, we are two We will stand together? Number two, number two Weird-posing ones
We are two, we are two We will fight each other We are two Like Tiffany and Drew
ABRIDGED VERSE 3 From this moment on, This moment from now, This'll be the moment starting now So let's begin -- don't beat up him! He's on our team, gah
CHORUS We are two, we are two, we are two We will stand together? Number two, number two The moment ones
We are two, we are two We will fight each other We aren't one We are wild and young
After reading all of the ridiculing, I thought the beatdown wasn't even THAT horrible when I got to see it. Just...lame and bad.
And people have to be joking about the stable right? No where did he say it would be a team, he basically just said the same thing many of the eliminated folks said "you havent seen the last of me" in a very bad was. But perhaps at that moment right now those words were good for the moment.
The beatdown was just random, I don't see any organized plan in there. And Riley might have some beef with Watson and thus he attacked him. Plus Michael & Riley were late to the party cos they had to come back from the backstage area. It all makes sense in a way. In a very lame and bad way.
Kaval winning was the best part. Hope to see him team with Bryan and use his title shot to go after the tag-team belts, as it would be kind of different. The show ending "brawl", brutal.
So I was actually right about a few things concerning season 3 ( see http://the-w.com/thread.php/id=41527), though I never really thought I'd actually see Goldust as a Diva Pro it really does make sense to me. But as previously noted, with only 4 weeks (unless they carry over the competition to Smackdown) we will be seeing double eliminations in weeks 2 and 3 with a final 2 for week 4. I'm personally thinking either AJ or Jamie win seeing as AJ has lots of experience (former WSU Tag Champ) and was already consisdered "ready" to come up and Jamie is already "known". IF they even have them wrestle, Aloisia (Isis) will show to be waaay to green. The others have been taught to work but mostly used in speaking roles in FCW. We will see, we will see.

I don't exactly envision Kaval having the same success as Wade Barrett here, as far as the title shot goes. I envision Kaval quickly using his title shot against Kane on SD and...well...I don't see that going too well for him.

Sing this special song. It's just for you. KAVAL. The only reason for Total Nonstop Action. Put him on Raw with Bryan, take vengeance on Miz, move them after the draft, push to Moon. Simple, effective, will never happen.
I think if Jamie had considered her frame before her *ahem* upgrade she'd look a lot better. She looks like she consulted Miss Jackie instead of Gail Kim.
AJ is very cute, Naomi looks like she can go, and Maxine seems like the chick at the bar who gives you the fuck off look before you buy her a drink anyway, and then rolls her eyes, but in a good way. We could use a Latina Maryse right?
Cody needs to dump Drew and draft Husky and the Genesis for a new improved Legacy free of Albatross DiBiase.
Goldust has and always will be awesome. I will reiterate that he will never be released for good so joke all you want people but Shattered Dreams Productions is a way better investment than MGM.
If I ever drink again, there's a 27% chance I will karaoke Justin's lyrics and PM the mp3 to him.
Vickie Guerrero's involvement ensures that I won't watch a minute of this. What does Vickie Guerrero know about being a wrestler or even a diva? Her talent consists of being shrill and...yeah, that's pretty much it.
Primo's inclusion as a Pro makes me wonder if his slot was originally meant to be Serena or Tiffany. He's just such an odd inclusion.
Was Gail Kim really THAT busy that she couldn't have been a Pro?

You don't think she picked anything up in the 15 years of marriage to Eddie?
